What else can I help you with?
Are lines of longitude and latitude rays?
No , Lines of Latitude and Longitude are not rays because they do not go on infinitely (forever). They are only imaginary lines that exist on Earth.
What is the relationship between latitude and the angle of the sun rays?
They both have to do with whether or not people get sunlight or if they don't.
Why are places with high temperature found at equator?
The earth's temperature is hotter at the equator and colder at the poles because of the difference in the angle of the sun's rays. Since the earth is round, the sun's rays hit different areas at different angles; the higher the latitude the more slanted are the sun's rays. In tropical or lower latitude areas the sun stays more or less overhead throughout the year. Since direct rays provide more heat than rays at an angle, the tropics receive the most heat and have the warmest average temperatures.
Do areas of high latitude receive indirect rays from the sun and have cooler temperatures?
Yes, areas of high latitude receive indirect rays from the sun due to the curvature of the Earth, leading to cooler temperatures. The angle at which the sunlight reaches these regions causes less solar energy to be absorbed, resulting in lower temperatures compared to areas closer to the equator.
How do changes in the angle of the sun's rays on the earth cause seasons in the northern hemisphere?
Changes in the angle of the sun's rays on the Earth cause seasons in the northern hemisphere because when the sun's rays hit the Earth at a more direct angle, it provides more concentrated heat and longer days, leading to warmer temperatures and summer. Conversely, when the sun's rays hit the Earth at a less direct angle, it diffuses the heat and results in colder temperatures and winter.
What angle will the suns rays most directly hit the earth?
the equater A+ 90 degrees
What does the angle of earth have to do with the seasons?
it affects the angle at which the sun rays hit the earth
What is angle of insulation?
It is the angle at which the sun's rays hit the earth
Why does the intensity of UV radiation change with latitude?
The intensity of UV radiation changes with latitude because the angle at which the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface varies depending on the location. Near the equator, the sun's rays are more direct, leading to higher UV radiation levels. As you move towards the poles, the angle of the sun's rays becomes more oblique, resulting in lower UV radiation levels.
All of the solar energy intercepted by the earth arrives as oblique rays?
No, not all of the solar energy intercepted by the Earth arrives as oblique rays. The angle of the sun’s rays varies depending on the latitude, time of year, and time of day. At the equator, for example, the sun’s rays are more direct, while at higher latitudes, the rays are more oblique.
What affect is the angle at which the sun's rays hit earth?
The way it hits it is a big deal because the tempature depends on how the sun hit earth - - Scientist Paul Earnstine

What are tangent rays?
Tangent rays are the migratory sun rays that skim over the earth's surface at high latitude locations (Polar Regions). These rays also occur during dusk and dawn at any latitude.
How does the angle at which the Suns rays strike the earth affect the temperature at earth surface?
If the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface at a direct spot, which is usually around the equator, that area would be the warmest. Any area that is far away from the sun's rays is usually cold.
